A minute later, Rickard guessed that something must have gone wrong at Hesper’s apartment, but he could not let his guard down by Renfrew’s side."I’ll stay here to guard the ward."Isaac and Renee had already heard the commotion and rushed over in a hurry. Seeing Rickard’s expression, they immediately guessed that something must have happened to Hesper, so they hurriedly reassured Rickard. "We’ll protect Young Master Renfrew."Rickard did not doubt this; he was only worried about the things that Daybreak would do. However, the situation that they were in now did not allow him to hesitate, so he nodded instantly. "I’ll go and find Hesper... But there has been no reply for so long, so I don’t have high hopes."Renee took a deep breath. "Mr. Duval, you should go now."After handing Renfrew over to Isaac and Renee, Rickard led his men all the way to Hesper’s apartment."Is that Benji?"As soon as they entered the apartment building, there was a faint smell of blood. Rickard frowned

"You’re unexpectedly sensitive." Nathaniel took a few steps closer, narrowed his eyes, and gave a smile. "There’s no need to push yourself. I know you must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. You don’t have to pretend when you’re with me."Nathaniel’s words sounded very firm, but Hesper had never told anyone about her seasickness because she did not usually take a boat, so she was very sure that no one knew about it...‘How did he find out about this?'"Don’t think too much. We’re bringing you back to Fredonia. There are too many people searching for you in Halwanest. I just snatched a treasure from them, so how could I send you back?"Seeing the hint of madness that stained Nathaniel’s usually calm and gentle gaze, Hesper took a few steps backward and sat back on the bed. "What are you hiding from me? Did we know each other before? If so, how long ago...? Was it when I was a little girl?""You’ve always been smart." Nathaniel took a few steps closer and reached out to caress

Nathaniel had sure come up with a very good idea. Hesper really did not have much strength to do anything, no more than when she was drugged before."I'll just have to wait until we land before I can figure out a way to escape..." Hesper murmured to herself, then went back to her bed and tried her best to suppress her nauseousness. "I wonder how Renfrew is doing now."In fact, Hesper could not tell what was wrong with her. She was invited to a banquet on a ferry once, and everything was normal at first, but the moment she stepped onto the deck, what followed was an oppressive feeling.That experience had since engraved a subconscious thought in Hesper that boats were a very dangerous thing, and she also discovered that she could not take a boat. However, compared to the physical discomfort, Hesper seemed to emotionally hate boating from the bottom of her heart.In any case, there was no way for her to contact anyone from the outside now, and there was no feasible way to escape the

The inability to communicate with the servants meant that Hesper was unable to pick up any information from the outside and could only let herself be imprisoned in this cage that Nathaniel had meticulously prepared for her.She could put up with the rest, but Hesper really wanted to know more about Renfrew’s condition. However, Nathaniel had not been there since the day he brought her there. Only 013 came by a few times in the past few days, but he was stopped outside the gate.So in conclusion, Hesper had no way of asking anyone for any information.Feeling somewhat irritated, she cut off the flowers in the yard along with their buds, and while doing so, Hesper suddenly thought of Stephen.‘If he were to see me wasting all these flowers, he might jump into the air and punch me twice.’The servant who had been in charge of Hesper’s diet and daily life during this period of time came over and looked sincerely at her with a pair of blue eyes as if she was hoping that Hesper would re

After thinking about it for a long time, Carter finally realized the root of the issue.‘She’s been ignoring me all this while, so why would she suddenly care about what to eat? ...And why would she suddenly want to eat chestnuts now?’"I want Nathaniel to deshell them personally."Carter’s eyes widened in an instant. The corners of Hesper’s lips twitched as she gave off a half-smile. "I want to see ten pounds tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll suspect Nathaniel Tucker’s sincerity."If not for the fact that it was Big T who was going to be tormented, Carter would have given Hesper a thumbs up."But what if Big T were to ask someone else to deshell them for you? You wouldn’t know that, would you?" Carter scratched his head, looking a little puzzled, but there was not even a hint of hilarity in Hesper’s eyes."Do you think he'll have someone else help him?"Carter hesitated for a bit. "I don’t think so."‘Big T has doted on Hesper to a degree so outrageous that he’s pissing everyone else
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 617
In the evening, Hesper received ten pounds of chestnuts from Carter."I can promise you Big T deshelled all of these one by one. Some of them have been caramelized with sugar, and some of them are still raw so that you can get the kitchen to cook them in whatever way you like." Carter was indescribably submissive, but Hesper did not care about these details at all.‘I’ve been tossing Nathaniel around to rationalize my actions. I’ll ask for 10 pounds of chestnuts today then go for peanuts a few days later.’Hesper received the nuts expressionlessly.‘Although Nathaniel has gone along with my request obediently, I don’t believe for a second that he wouldn’t doubt my sudden request and my motives. That’s why I can’t ask for peanuts on the first go. Although Nathaniel has imprisoned me at this place at the moment, I can see that he has special feelings for me. Perhaps the personnel in Daybreak are currently at each other’s throats because of me, especially 013; he’s surely one of those

In fact, that was what confused Rickard the most.‘Based on what I know about Hesper, she wouldn't lay back and do nothing throughout the whole journey. Even if she’s been imprisoned in Fredonia, there must have been some way for her to leave a trail behind while they were on their way there. But after all this time, we haven't found a trail of any kind. So there’s only one possibility, and it's that Hesper was extremely occupied with other things that she didn’t have the time or energy to leave us a life-saving message.’Matthew shook his head first, but then suddenly remembered something. "Hesper hasn't told me anything about what she’s afraid of, but I've noticed that she hardly ever takes part in events that are held on a boat.""Seasickness?"Rickard frowned. They had checked various means of transportation, but they had not thought about a boat or ship, as it would take a long time and it would be extremely inconvenient for the kidnappers to do anything while they were at sea
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 619
"We’ll stay in the hospital."Not surprisingly, Hesper emerged as the winner of the bet. Carter agreed as he imagined what 013 would do when he found out about this.‘He’ll come over and quarrel with Nathaniel again.’Carter could not help but feel a little stressed as soon as he thought of the scene when Nathaniel and 013 saw each other after this.But no matter what, Hesper’s goal had been achieved, and Carter’s admiration toward her just kept on growing.‘This woman is making a fool out of the whole organization. And that includes Nathaniel, who’s always been known for his relentlessness.’...On the other side of the city, Rickard and Matthew naturally failed to find Hesper at the manor, but because Nathaniel had no time to deal with the servants and Carter was in the hospital with him, Rickard easily apprehended one of the servants."Was a woman imprisoned here before?"Listening to the unfamiliar language, the servant waved her hand, trying to indicate that she did not u

He had never anticipated that he would end up loving her so deeply.It could be said that amidst all the misunderstandings and complexities, their journey together had taken many winding paths."I wouldn't risk getting into trouble just to set off fireworks for someone I didn't even like," Rickard said, his voice gentle. "You dummy."His words were soft, but as Hesper listened to his explanation, she cleared her throat, and her eyes turned bloodshot. She had never imagined that the person she had loved so intensely in her youth had, at some point in their lives, secretly admired her.Hesper attempted to smile but ended up with teary eyes. Seeing this, Rickard reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "If it's going to make you cry, I won't say anything more."Hesper pursed her lips. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."Rickard, despite understanding her reluctance, couldn't help but reflect on the past and openly admitted to the emotions he had felt in his you

They were flooded with memories, and Hesper couldn't help but admit that she had been through so much with Rickard. Her eyes welled up with emotion.The livestream ended, as they couldn't maintain constant surveillance of their lives. Even though they hadn't gone home yet, the crew had left.In the past two days, people had gotten to know them quite well, so the crew decided to give them some alone time.Hesper sat in the passenger seat and stole a glance at Rickard. She couldn't help but say, "I never expected that the only time you were seen as making a mistake in Grandpa's eyes was because of me.""There are many things you don't know," he replied. Hesper raised an eyebrow and asked, "Like what? Tell me."Suddenly, Hesper recalled the countless times Rickard had looked at her. Yet, during those moments, Rickard had always had feelings for Juniper. She knew that was the reality, so she never expected that Rickard might have had the same strong feelings for her as she had for h
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
Hesper glanced at Rickard, who remained emotionless, but she still reached out to hold his hand.[This is tough to see. Both of Rickard's parents are no longer here… Sigh.][Hesper immediately checked on Rickard. If I were Rickard, I'd love her so much.]Ernest shook his head and remained silent as he flipped to the next page. Most of the pictures were of Hesper after that. She hadn't realized she had so many childhood photos. Julian appeared in some of them, too.Before everything went sour.Rickard didn't have many pictures. As he grew older, he became quieter.Most of them showed Hesper standing next to Julian, but there was something off about them.[Did you notice... In many of those pictures, Hesper was looking at Rickard, and in others, Rickard was looking at her.][Oh my god, is this puppy love? I had no idea!][I remember Rickard had another lover.]Hesper had noticed, too, but there was no need to remind people that Rickard used to hate her, so she dismissed it as a

Hesper and Rickard entered the room and awkwardly informed Ernest that everything had been live-streamed just now. Ernest was shocked, but upon hearing that it was something people do, he nodded."It's fine. There's nothing that others can't hear."Hesper pursed her lips and glanced at Rickard before saying, "We didn't expect the Summers to come and see you. You should move in with us so these people will leave you alone."If Ernest lived with them, no one would dare intrude because they represented power and influence.Who would dare challenge them?"I don't want to get involved in your life. Renfew and Renarie would keep you occupied enough."Hesper understood that he had already made up his mind not to live with them, so she didn't press the matter further.She could understand his concerns, as many things might become inconvenient. Besides, Ernest didn't want to disrupt their lives either."We'll be heading to Fredonia soon, so even though we have filming to do, we wanted t

So what if the cameras were still recording?"Was my son's life not as valuable as your son's?"If he had grasped this earlier, recent events might not have unfolded. Jade had a point.The live chat fell silent. Though they lacked the full backstory, they could deduce what had transpired in the past.[I heard Rickard lost his parents when he was a child. I feel sorry for him.][His parents died because of that incident. It's no surprise if he harbors resentment.][Truthfully, this old man has no shame. If my child were responsible for another child's death, I'd beg for forgiveness.]Everything unfolding before their eyes was purely coincidental, and no one had control over the situation. They could only watch and terminate the livestream immediately if anything escalated.Fortunately, Jade received a stern talking-to and refrained from discussing the matter further, but Mrs. Summers did not fare as well. Hesper and the others bore witness to her irrational behavior.[This is e

"We've known each other for years, Ernest. I saved your life once, and now your descendants want to take my son's life!"As they approached, Jade Summers was angrily berating Ernest before him. Hesper's countenance immediately turned frosty as she walked over to Ernest."You should conduct yourself more appropriately, Mr. Summers Sr."Jade was taken aback to see Hesper, but he composed himself, took a deep breath, and fixed her with a hatred-filled gaze."If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. You're just a woman. Since when do you get a say in the Duval family matters?"In the 21st century, people were all for equality. Besides, Hesper was no ordinary or unintelligent woman. Naturally, she had a voice in these matters.The viewers were inundated with comments when they heard Jade's words, and the live chat exploded.[Who is this guy? He looks old but lacks respect.][What's the argument about?][I sense some drama.]Rickard walked over. Jade had thought he

[Didn't Hesper mention that Mr. Duval Sr. took care of her? Maybe she did grow up well.][I'm certain she did. Hesper doesn't strike me as someone who would tolerate mistreatment.]Hesper and Rickard were under constant surveillance throughout the journey, and they hadn't allowed Benji to accompany them. Rickard was behind the wheel, with Hesper in the passenger seat.During the drive, they remained silent, but to observers, it appeared as though they were in harmony.Upon arriving at the ancestral mansion, Hesper noticed other cars parked around and cast a curious glance at Rickard. Visitors to Ernest's home were a rarity."Sir, Ma'am, you're back," a young housekeeper greeted them. It was the same person who had assisted Wendy earlier, but they couldn't recall her name. Nevertheless, Hesper had faith in her.Noticing the housekeeper's troubled demeanor, Hesper deduced that the guest inside was likely unwelcome. However, she couldn't fathom who would disrupt Ernest's life. Given

Rickard noticed something in Hesper's expression, prompting him to ask, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"Being intimately familiar with each other wasn't always without its challenges. Hesper could never conceal anything from him.She sighed and replied, "It's nothing. Just that Pennleigh will also be on the list."Rickard fell silent.Hesper was aware that sometimes Rickard might not appear bothered, but Pennleigh's presence did bother him.Observing Hesper's awkward expression, Rickard lowered his gaze and suddenly took on a pitiful appearance, like a big dog caught in the rain.Yet, she knew he was merely putting on an act. Still, every time she saw him like that, she couldn't help but miss the Rickard who didn't engage in such playful antics. His character had undergone a change.Hesper found it amusing but didn't quite know how to express it. She sighed and added, "It's a fantastic opportunity. I know you'll let me go, right?"Rickard had no intention of inte

"Sullivan lied to her. He had her parents quietly killed. She found out after she turned her back on you."Benji lowered his gaze. "She was already dead when you came back. It was suicide."The conclusion lacked the weight necessary for such a betrayal. Hesper shut her eyes. The person she had trusted most was Renee. They had shared countless years together.Hesper acknowledged that their bond might not have been a genuine friendship. Renee had abandoned her when given the choice.However, Hesper had faced such situations before.Thankfully, there had been someone who had placed her first in their heart, reassuring her that she wasn't always relegated to being an option. Hesper stood in silence for a while before simply nodding.There was nothing she could do to aid Renee now. Renee had entered and departed alone, leaving no trace behind with Hesper.When the topic was broached, it weighed heavily on her heart. Hesper understood the situation but found herself at a loss for word
